Question on 1982 RCA Selectavison VGT-650

[VintageLove]

Hello, fellow Videokarma members!

Need a little help here from those with some experience...

I have a 1982 RCA Selectavision VGT-650 VCR. I got it for free and decided to see if I could fix some issues with it, mostly cosmetic. The first thing I noticed is that some of the channel scanning dip switches were broken, there basically a little switch that slides into three positions. When I took it apart, to see if I could fix them, i noticed that someone had de-soldered some of them before at one point probably because they were broken too, and put a small piece of wire as a replacement? I wonder why they did this? instead of replacing the switch instead. I'm wondering by chance if anyone might have a spare board kicking around or perhaps the switches? I've included photos to show what I need.

[Figured I tact this on here, instead of making a new post.]

As you know these old VCR's have the infamous VFD Display that of course can become dimmer over time, on these VCR's you have a DIM/BRIGHTNESS Switch. I noticed on the clock display on mine that it seems to pulsating? I'm wonder if it is the result of a bad capacitor and is causing it to pulsate because it's not getting the right voltage?

I made a YouTube video to demonstrating the problem -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S5mE8mjXQc
